    Sasanian Empire

    Last pre-Islamic Iranian empire (224–651 AD)

    The Sasanian Empire, officially Ērānšahr, was the last empire of ancient Iran. Named after the House of Sasan, it endured for over four centuries, from 224 to 651, making it the second longest-lived imperial Iranian dynasty after the directly preceding Arsacid dynasty of Parthia. In the seventh century it fell to the Rashidun Caliphate during the early Muslim conquests, which marked the beginning of a monumental societal shift by initiating the Islamization of Iran. Upon succeeding the Parthians in the third century, the Sasanian dynasty re-established the Persian nation as a major power in late antiquity, and also continued to compete extensively with the neighbouring Roman Empire. It was founded by Ardashir I, a ruler who rose to power as Parthia weakened amidst internal strife and the Roman–Persian Wars. Wikipedia
